Unlocked iPhone 5 Now On Sale – Nano SIM Available in Argentina

Apple has just started selling the unlocked iPhone 5 in the United States, so while you can’t get one in Argentina, you can be sure that they’ll start showing up for sale at double the price in the expat forums and on MercadoLibre.

For those of you going to the US, you can pick yours up at the following prices:

16GB, $649

32GB, $749

64GB, $849

There is currently a one week lead time to get them from Apple’s website and they are not yet available to purchase in Apple’s retail stores, but that should change soon.

Of course, to use the iPhone 5 in Argentina you’ll need the new nano SIM card, and luckily Movistar is now selling these for $27 pesos. (Knowing that people are going to bring them back from their trips to the US.) You can buy the nano SIM at the following locations: Callao , República, Belgrano, Caballito, Palermo, Medrano, Avellaneda, Berazategui, Lanús, Lomas, Monte Grande, Quilmes, Florencio Varela, Berisso, La Plata, José C. Paz, San Isidro, San Miguel, Zárate, González Catán, Laferrere, Merlo, Moreno, Morón, Ramos Mejía. I would assume that other carriers also have the nano SIM available as well.
